Problem - Joe Bauer Inc. specializes in the painting of older homes and employs several painters. It is essential for Joe Bauer to have accurate cost estimates so he can estimate painting costs before he accepts a job. Joe has been using the home's square feet for his paint cost estimates. Recently, he decided to use the number of openings (total number of doors and windows) in a house as a cost driver since the cost of painting trim work around doors and windows is significant. Joe has kept records of his past 12 jobs:

Job Sq. feet Openings Cost ($)

1 2600 13 3300

2 3010 15 3750
